Controversy Over Selection for Asian Games Amid Silver Medal Triumph

Agarwal’s silver medal arrived as a dispute over her selection for the upcoming Asian Games intensified. The rider, who previously won a team gold at the Asian Games, was named a reserve athlete by the Equestrian Federation of India (EFI). She promptly filed a petition in the Delhi High Court challenging the ad‑hoc committee’s June 16, 2026 selection list, demanding its cancellation and a transparent, conflict‑free restructuring of the selection panel.
